Diane Hart, Mullumbimby

Red Energy have recently been blitzing the Shire with a door knocking sales campaign. All good until you listen to the false and misleading information they are spreading about Enova Energy; namely that they are NOT locally owned and NOT an Australian company. All complete hogwash.

The salesman, who came to my door, tried to back up this claim by showing me the logo for Australian companies – the green kangaroo, and stated that this was proof that Enova weren’t because they don’t display it on their website. Double hogwash.

Having been involved with Enova since its inception I was in a position to know that these claims were false, but have many other folk unwittingly believed him?

Yes, I did inform Enova and Red Energy’s Head office – you should too if they knock at your door.
